In November of 2015, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, welcomed their first child, a baby girl.
Her name? Maxima.
A spokesperson for the couple stated that Max was named after family members. An article at CNN.com specified that Zuckerberg had “two great-grandfathers by that name on his father’s side — Max Zuckerberg and Marcus “Max” Hollander.” Both men “lived and raised families in New York City. They were self-employed.”
What are your thoughts on the name Maxima?
